[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1645408, member: 33135"] I think conception will be comparable, possibly better, but I doubt they'd put out a product that was subpar if they were charging same price for 1/4 and 1/2 cc straws. Issues I have seen: 1/4 cc straws are more apt to crimp 1/4 cc straws seem to bust more than 1/2 during thawing 1/4 cc straws are more sensitive to the touch than 1/2 obviously, but are also more sensitive during transport from the thaw/gun load to the cow. More of an issue for Fall calvers breeding in the cold. Take home-Just use extreme caution and use best management practices when using the 1/4 cc straws. I think they will get better with time and as breeders we will get better at our methods, which could pay dividends in the long run if we have to be a little more precise with our movements when AI breeding. Good luck to all! [/QUOTE]
